Another Peace and Justice walk

Friday, Becky and I took another walk for justice. The assignment was "Take pictures that somehow represent the presence or the absence of peace and justice."

Here are some of my photos from that walk..



"Urban Web" - such a diverse concept, and yet we are gracefully stuck together.



This Canadian Goose struck me funny as a peaceful image. This goose decided to make her nest on the green roof at the Peggy Notebaert Nature Museum, on a walking path on the green roof. Therefore, the Museum had posted a sign that people may not want to walk on the path when the goose was present due to territory issues around nesting. I found this funny and yet maybe one definition of peace. Geese tend to be mean, and yet, the nature museum didn't disturb the nest but rather decided that we needed to be present with this new life.





I have a special place in my heart for this church. This was one of the first service sites DOOR Chicago partnered with in 2001. They have a small bag lunch program for anyone who comes on Tuesdays. I believe that is a good example of a church doing what it can and to be a part of the solution...being called to do something and following through. However, this picture turned out to show a church that is working for peace and justice in the world with a tow zone sign in it. Injustice is right in front of us, and yes, we can ignore it by going around into our safe places - but it is important to look at it and confront it!
